Most pollution from cars comes from the tires, not the gas burning. If you drive any car at all, you're the problem
Citation needed.. tires are a problem, but gasoline is farm worse pollution overall. Unless you cherry pick pollutant.
I believe most of the microplastics that are in everything we consume come from car tires. So probably less a climate change problem, but still an issue.
I did not know that. I wonder how much that attempted tire reef fuck up contributed to microplastics in the ocean and therefore our seafood.
